Captain’s Alatriste
story
The story of Captain Alatriste is
related to the War of Felipe III to keep
the kingdom of Flanders. The war in
Flanders, lasted from 1568 to 1609
and from 1621 to 1648 (Peace of
Westphalia), with only a cold
interlude with the Twelve Years Truce.
That conflict devoured for over 80
years the Royal Treasury at all: the
United Provinces became
independent of the Empire and were
compensated with two more
provinces (north of the river Scheldt,
which ruined the river out of
Antwerp), apart from the colonies
had already occupied in the East
Indies. Under the reign of Charles II
the Bewitched French attacks
continued to destroy what was left of
the Spanish Flanders. By the Peace of
Aachen (1668), returned to Spain to
lose seats in the region. Five years
later, Louis XIV exchange proposed by
Flanders Roussillon and Cerdanya half,
lost north of the Pyrenees counties in
1659, but Charles II flatly refused,
which meant the outbreak of war
again.
The Peace of Nijmegen again undermine Hispanic domains,
which ended up disappearing in early eighteenth century
with the Peace of Utrecht which ended the War of Spanish
Succession between Philip V and the Archduke Charles of
Austria by the Spanish throne. The Holy Roman Empire was
the new owner of Flanders in the future.
